  • “Show Me Heaven”

    Apr 19th, 2024

    I simply love this song  💙

  • Peterborough Cathedral

    Apr 19th, 2024

    The Peterborough Cathedral – This is one of my favourite buildings to photograph.

    Peterborough Cathedral located in Peterborough, Cambridgeshire, England, is a magnificent example of Romanesque and Gothic architecture. It boasts a striking façade with three massive arches, intricate carvings, and towering spires. Inside, visitors can marvel at its grand nave, beautifully crafted stained glass windows, and the breathtaking fan vaulting in the ceilings. The cathedral has a rich history dating back to the 7th century and is a significant cultural and religious landmark in the UK.

  • Empingham Church

    Apr 18th, 2024

    No matter how many times I photograph the Empingham Church, it always looks different, every single time time.

    St. Peter’s Church in Empingham, Rutland, overlooks the Rutland Water reservoir. It’s quite a unique sight, with the church standing on a hill above the water, offering stunning views of the surrounding landscape. Despite the reservoir being constructed in the 1970s, the church itself has a much longer history, dating back to the medieval period. Its position by the reservoir adds to its charm and makes it a popular spot for visitors and photographers.

  • Jurassic Came To Peterborough and Spalding?

    Apr 18th, 2024

    The “Jurassic Event” in Peterborough refers to an exhibition, event themed around dinosaurs and the Jurassic era. These kinds of events often feature life-sized dinosaur models, interactive exhibits, educational activities, and sometimes even fossil displays. It sounds like a fun and educational experience for dinosaur enthusiasts of all ages!

    I attended the event with my mum, brother Baz and my brother’s partner Fiona….and as usual, I took a few photographs. It was great because there were no stresses.

    I love dancing with the 🦕  😃
    Me 🙂
  • Remembering Bradley

    Apr 17th, 2024

    Bradley Bunny Napper  RIP Bradley. I miss him.

    A pet Bunny could be described as loyal, playful, and affectionate. They might have a curious personality, enjoying exploring their surroundings and interacting with their human companions. Depending on the species, a Bunny could be a cuddly friend or a mischievous buddy always up for an adventure.

    Bradley loved adventure as well as being cute and cuddly. He used to run around the garden smelling all of the shrubs. He was s little mischievous at times, particularly when he dug his way into the next-door neighbour’s garden. He was a funny bunny who is sadly missed by me.

    RIP Bradley –  died 2022

  • My Roses

    Apr 17th, 2024

    These are the beautiful Roses my daughters bought for me, during lockdown in 2021. I am still missing some of the lovely photos I managed to capture of the day, as someone has taken some of the lovely photos, of my memories. I am so saddened by this. Someone managed to get into my Google Photos and they mixed all of my photos up, mainly so that I would not notice the missing photographs. I have albums, with missing photographs which I took on the day i received these flowers.

    How could someone do such an awful thing? Why?

  • Cambridge

    Apr 17th, 2024

    I do not live far away from Cambridge and I enjoy my travels to Cambridge occasionally. Sometimes I meet my daughter for lunch, or I love to travel on my own.

  • You Should Be Dancing

    Apr 17th, 2024

    I’m listening to “You Should Be Dancing” by the Bee Gees

    I loved the film “Despicable Me” 😃

  • A Lovely Rose

    Apr 17th, 2024

    This rose stood in all of its glory when I photographed it. A fragrant flower that comes in various colours such as red, pink, white, and yellow. It has a symmetrical shape with layers of delicate petals and a pleasing scent. Roses are widely cultivated for their aesthetic appeal and are often used in bouquets, gardens, and floral arrangements. They symbolize love, beauty, and romance, making them popular choices for gifts on special occasions like Valentine’s Day or anniversaries.

    A lovely Rose
  • Goodbye Stamford (my home town), Here’s Where The Story Ends

    Apr 16th, 2024

    It’s the end of an era. It’s always poignant when eras come to a close.

    We are presently going through changes within our family circumstances. I used to pop home regularly, to visit family members, even after my divorce 18 years ago.  Unfortunately, things have now changed and Stamford will become just a memory . 

    Some of you already know that my dad passed away 7 years ago, however, I still had a good reason to visit Stamford regularly however, I probably won’t have a good reason to visit the old market town as often anymore, because my stepmothe does not reside there anymore.  I probably do not have a good enough reason to visit my old home town quite as often now.

    We are now going through a transition period in the family. I will possibly visit Stamford to shop occasionally, however, this is where the story ends hometown.

    Goodbye Stamford
